“Love only grows by sharing. You can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others.”
― Brian Tracy

2 years of memorable running adventures behind me, and I can not deny that I am absolutely crazy about running. Crazy is also an adjective my family and friends used a lot to describe my first year of running: the metamorphosis from absolute couch potato to back to back marathon runner. I love my crazy! :)

2012 - a memorable running year
Ran Berlin and Amsterdam Marathons
back to back (3 weeks apart)

What I am not crazy about is getting injured!

As any runner, who've experienced injury, will tell you about their stay in Injuryville: it's not a holiday!

As a part of taking preventive measures, I asked friends in various running circle about compression socks because I noticed many runners wearing them in the marathons I participated in. There were also prominent stands from different brands of compression apparel in the marathon expos.

It seems serendipitous, after surviving Injuryville and with new running goals in mind, to receive a message in my inbox from Lunatik Athletiks with the invitation to review exactly the product I wanted to try myself!

The company's cool name spoke to me right away, specially what they stand for:

When I checked their website, and saw the variety of their apparel, I was sold right away to the idea of doing a review.

They have exactly the fun style that motivates me to go outdoors because of how they brighten my mood, and makes me feel good how I look.

What can I say - I love functionality and beauty going hand in hand with anything I use/wear when I run! :)

The reason I am SO excited is Lunatik Athletiks did not only provide my husband and me a pair each of His and Hers compression socks respectively to review but two followers (a female and male follower) of Happy Feet in the Netherlands would also get a chance to win and choose their own pair of compression socks!!!!!!!!!
